I teach English in 'the Beverly Hills of East L.A.'; that's what we call it. We have gangs and we have violence- but there is a reason hundreds of hopeful mothers line up outside every summer. Our school represents an oasis from the problems farther into the city. Our test scores are higher, our Honors and AP programs are bigger, and our graduation rate is the highest in the district. Our principal mentioned this at our last meeting: there is a line running down a street a mile from our school's driveway. If you live on the east side of that line, you come to us, and your chance of graduating is two out of three. If you grow up on the west side of that line, you go to one of the other schools and your chances drop to one in three. We are proud of that statistic...but it still hurts to lose that one kid in three.
